The 8 days Vipassana Meditation Retreat organized by Vipassana Meditation Centre (Singapore) has been started from 26 April 2008. The retreat is conducted by chief religious advisor of VMC Sayadawgyi U Pandita and assisted by Sayadaw U Pannathami and Sayadaw U Pannananda. Here is a photo of one of the building at the retreat. The place is very peaceful. 50 yogis participated in this retreat. Dhamma talk to be conducted at the evening.

I discovered the painting that I exhibited in this exhibition was “Metamorphosing Phenomena”. Last year I came to know that this painting was collected by an art lover in Hong Kong. I remembered the painting was sold in Singapore, but I did not know how it was finally landed in Hong Kong. I hope it is still in Hong Kong.

This is another book. The Singapore Art Society Artists’ Directory, 1949-2004. You could see two of my paintings featured in the book (right page).

The Singapore Art Society was registered in October 1949 with the objectives to foster the practice and appreciation of art and to raise the quality of art in Singapore to promote the exchange of art between Singapore and other countries and to create learning and exhibition opportunities for artists. Membership was oper to any art lover, regardless of race or creed. In this artists’s directory, it featured 330 artworks in full colour by 165 members including a directory listing of 511 members. I enjoyed looking at all the artworks featured in the directory, though I didn’t meet many of the artists so far.

Ven. P Piyananda Thero will be returning to Sri Lanka tomorrow. Many of our friends felt sad when they heard the news. We will not be able to see him at the temple any more in future. We will miss him a lot. May Bhante Ven Piyananda Thero be blessed with good health and long life.

I have composed this painting with pictorial elements of Singapore Skyline (Singapore Cityscape), Singapore Flyer (Chinese: 新加坡摩天观景轮), Esplanade theatres on the Bay, iconic control tower of Singapore Changi Airport, Orchid and the use of celebration colours, rhythm and moods. I painted this painting after watching the announcement program that Singapore wins bid to host the First Youth Olympic Games 2010.
